@lporiginalg It’s a terrible question that’s fucking everyone up. It’s poison.

1. This is not a partisan experiment. The majority of Trump voters chose the blue button.
2. It's painfully obvious that reds are worse at mentally modeling blues than vice versa.

The blue button red button thing has made me realize how many leftists really do genuinely just don't understand things.

@peterrhague @TakeThatNurses If you added enough NAC you’d help protect the liver & make people throw up. But the dosages probably don’t line up well & it tastes like ass.
English
@TakeThatNurses Could we not add something to the products that makes you vomit them up before you hit that dose level?

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose.
I’ve talked about this before. If the OD is severe enough, your liver is irreversibly fucked and you have 2-3 days of being awake and alert and knowing you’re going to die a horrible, ugly death. Half of acetaminophen overdoses are accidental.

@afneil Ofc there’s the possibility he does know this. Which would be worse, I suppose.

You’re the energy secretary. Yet you don’t seem to know that BP’s ‘excess profits’ come from its global oil trading division, which is not subject to UK ‘excess profits’ windfall tax, not from its North Sea activities, which are. Remarkable.
Ed Miliband@Ed_Miliband
It would be completely wrong for a Government to stand by and allow companies to make excess profits from a war. That’s why we’re taxing these windfall profits to help with the cost of living. And why the Tories, Reform and the SNP are utterly wrong to oppose the windfall tax.

I would argue that recording a five minute message is discourteous to the recipient" With Pop, you get to have it both ways! Voice messages as long as you like and as courteous as any text. How? @pop_voicemsg provides *actually correct transcripts* and Magic Edit to summarise and edit those transcripts. You can even delete your mistakes in the audio and carry on recording. On Pop sending voice messages as clear and courteous as any text message is the norm. Link in bio!

@DuncanAdley We just launched our app today that hopes to fix that by giving you a great transcript, editing of voice messages & more.

It's launch day for the future of voice messaging! Everyday messaging but with voice notes as first class. Great transcripts, edit your recording before you send & more. Link in bio, available now on iOS & Android

@caincurrency It’s mostly voice to text based, voice messaging. No text to speech yet (although it’s an obvious addition that we should get to).
English
@J_L_Colvin learning that sometimes you're not going to figure out what's working and what's not until you launch. also, just checked out what you're building. is it a text to voice tool? Because I'm looking for one that's better than the open AI tts one.
English
Hard to explain how scary it is to say to the world: “here, this is what I have done”.
There’s always one more fix, one more feature, one more thing to decide. But at a certain point you just have to press “go”.
Probably should have been pressing go every week tbf!
English
Being able to just tell the app to summarise & clean up the text of your ramblings is a game changer for not pissing people off with your voice notes.
Pop@pop_voicemsg
Change the text by magic, just say what you want to change.

It's been a long time coming..
Very excited to show everyone what @JoeDLColvin & I have been working on for what feels like forever!
We believe in messaging, voice & the machine that understands you, that's the future of computing. Pop is our first step in to that future.

@BarneyFlames This is very easy to test personally. You can, for example, go sit under a tree. You could even take a thermometer if you like.

More 70 IQ content, apparently Trees can defeat the laws of thermodynamics
Rishabh Shrivastava@Writer_Rishabh
We did this simple experiment last year. As the temperature spikes across the country, one straightforward and effective solution is protecting and planting trees. Period. But guess what? We love complicating things. So we will keep talking about heat action plans, notifications, AI-based solutions, cooling, and keep cutting trees in the name of development. Welcome to hell! Climate change is real!

@grok @typesfast @CJHandmer @grok comparing only between planes currently commonly used for commercial passenger transport in the US, are the newer ones commonly flown slower?
English
Yes, newer commercial jets generally cruise slightly slower than older ones from the 1960s-80s for fuel efficiency.
Ex: Boeing 707 ~600 mph (Mach ~0.82-0.85).
Modern 787/777 ~560 mph (Mach 0.85 typical, but optimized lower).
Lower speed cuts drag & burn, which also helps emissions—newer planes win there via engines & design, not top speed.
English
The lowest emissions planes are the newest / nicest ones
Vic 🌮@VicVijayakumar
literally no one buys their flight based on emissions, this is useless information

@ChefReactions While I do agree that London isn’t scary at all, “every city has bad parts and crime” is a bit of a cop-out, some cities are very much more dangerous & some are quite a lot safer, crime-level is not just some unavoidable constant of urbanisation. The level matters a lot!

@dshensmith @OliLondonTV Honestly, nabbing some already-provided wine to take away is one of the more likeable behaviours you’ll see in a room like that.
English
@OliLondonTV Hm.. Stealing or just taking as the table was likely paid for? and only stealing if it was dishonest, which we can't infer from this video done in full public view.

@usr_bin_roygbiv @typesfast I don’t think you know what planes are what

@typesfast I would far rather they just put the model so I could avoid the old ass a350/380s and take all the 787 flights with good air pressure

Podcast Notes 🗒️@podcastnotes
Your brain has a region that only grows when you do things you don't want to do. It's called the anterior mid-cingulate cortex. It's also the same region associated with the will to live. Watch David Goggins' face when Huberman tells him this for the first time.
